Fav quotes from this episode:
“You always get a chance to do it again, even if you do a huge fuck-up”
“Being an adult is very much about taking responsibility for my thoughts and actions”
“It’s all shit and sunshine!”
“I really wish that I still had those plastic high heels I had when I was 5 years old”

In this episode we talk about:
Communication as an exercise in learning to listen and getting under the skin of what the other person is saying
Conversing as an art
How anxiety can induce terrible 80s haircuts 
The importance of playful and creative communication
The openness of dialogue and not having to be right, or clever, or perfect
The role of fun, playfulness and silliness in being yourself and communicating your message

Plus join us for a whole bunch of giggles whilst chatting about feeling tongue tied on your own podcast, lost property announcements, poodles with dodgy haircuts and overcoming stage fright at TEDx!
